I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new In city and in forest, they smiled like me and you But now it's come to distances and both of us must try Your eyes are soft with sorrow Hey, that's no way to say goodbye I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me It's just the way it changes like the shoreline and the sea But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie Your eyes are soft with sorrow Hey, that's no way to say goodbye I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new In city and in forest they smiled like me and you But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie Your eyes are soft with sorrow Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

Two versions of ‘Show Me The Place’... a song about Christianity and Love as Addiction...

the second link is to a young Muslim girl singing a song written by Cohen - (a very Jewish song writer) - - a song about Cohen’s desire to understand Jesus... Doesn’t get more ‘leonard cohen’ than that...
“Show Me The Place”
Show me the place where you want your slave to go
Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
Show me the place, I can’t move this thing alone
Show me the place where the word became a man
Show me the place where the suffering began
Thanks Personal preference, the second version.
Hey, no one sings this like Claudine
Well that was the first time I heard it.
Baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor (you know)
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Am I bad for liking the Shrek version best?

No, definitely NOT! Never saw the movie, “Shrek”, but this scene with the donkey certainly tugged my heartstrings. Thanks for sharing.:)
